Recently, the nearly 100-year-old former Prime Minister of Malaysia Mahathir Mohamad once again uttered a surprising speech, unable to control his mouth!
Former Malaysian Prime Minister Dr Mahathir Mohamad made a controversial statement that "Malaysia should take back the Lion City and White Reef" on the pretext of restoring The Malay land (Tanah Melayu)!
However, some analysts believe that this is just a pre-election support for the old routine...
Is Mahathir going out of the mountains again?

On the 19th of this month, Mahathir made this remark at a promotional ceremony called "I Am Malay: The Battle for Survival", which is an excerpt from Mahathir's speech:
"Singapore used to belong to Johor, and Johor should bring Singapore back and return to Johor and Malaysia. On the contrary, the Malaysian government today shows appreciation for the new national leadership called 'Singapore'. Malaysia had demanded a return to Pedra Branca, and in fact, Malaysia should return even to Singapore. The Malay land was originally very extensive, from the Kra Isthmus to the Riau Islands, and now only the Malay Peninsula remains. ”
"I am worried about the future of the Malays, whose land is being occupied by outsiders. The Malays are generally poor, and the poor are weaker and unable to defend their rights. Today, half of Malaysia is occupied by outsiders, and I believe that if this situation continues, there will be a bad outcome, that malaysia will no longer be Malay land, all land on the peninsula will be owned by outsiders, and the Malays will become tenants on their own land. ”
"Malaysia should learn from history and correct its mistakes, as it has lost four regions of southern Thailand, the Riau Islands, Singapore Island and 'One Table' Pedra Branca/ Pedra Branca/Pedra Blauca."

His remarks could not help but make people associate with Putin's claim to "restore the territory of Tsarist Russia and liberate Ukraine"!
However, some observers believe that his remarks are not unrelated to the upcoming local general election, and hope to use such "tough remarks" on diplomatic issues to win domestic support, which can be said to be an old election routine.
It is reported that malaysia often makes some tough remarks on diplomatic issues before every general election, and Mahathir has such precedents in the past, so his remarks will not come as a surprise.
"With this tough colloquialism, especially for Singapore, he hopes to get a certain level of approval, especially among some of the more conservative voters."
Mahathir's remarks, in addition to being a "non-startling" move, may also be trying to incite the mood of Johor voters.
Mahathir's Fatherland Fighters Party is eager to participate in this election, but this small Malay party, which was defeated in the Johor election three months ago, Mahathir is trying to incite the mood of the Malay voters, so he makes a big fuss about White Reef.
According to Malaysian Prime Minister Ismail Ismail's earlier remarks, the local general election could be held at any time within a year of the start of August, and he called on the member parties to be prepared for the battle.
